Lotus Other (1965)
for sale

Price: US $13,500.00

Description:

HERE IS A VERY RARE LOTUS ELAN CONVERTIBLE WITH BOTH HARD TOP AND CONVERTIBLE FRAME. IT NEEDS A MOSTLY COMPLETE RESTORATION. THE FRAME IS SOLID. THE BODY DOES NOT SHOW ANY PRIOR COLLISION DAMAGE. THE PAINT WORK IS IN POOR CONDITION. I BELIEVE IT WAS ORIGINALLY RED. IT WAS PAINTED BLUE AT SOME POINT, THEN THE POOR WHITE PAINT JOB AFTER THAT. THE WHITE PAINT WAS APPLIED TOO HEAVILY, THEREFORE, YOU SEE THE PAINT CRACKS AS PICTURED.
AS WE ALL KNOW, IN MOST CIRCUMSTANCES, CARS IN PICTURES LOOK BETTER THAN SEEN IN PERSON. IN THIS CASE, THE CAR LOOKS BETTER IN PERSON THAN THE PICTURES SHOW.
IT IS BASICALLY A SIMPLE JOB OF STRIPPING THE PAINT & REPAINTING THE CAR. NO BIG DEAL. EVEN THE CARS LOOKING MUCH BETTER THAN THIS ONE REQUIRE RE-PAINT TO HIDE SOME OF THE NORMAL CRACKING OF THE FIBERGLASS UNDERNEATH THE PAINT. WHEN CONSIDERING BUYING A CAR AT DOUBLE OR TRIPLE THE PRICE OF THIS ONE, YOU WILL STILL BE FACED WITH BASICALLY THE SAME ISSUES REPAINTING IT, SO THIS ONE IS BY FAR THE BEST DEAL ON AN ELAN ON THE PLANET TODAY.
THESE CARS ARE CURRENTLY BRINGING UPWARDS OF $55, 000 EUROS IN FULLY RESTORED CONDITION IN EUROPE NOW. THIS IS A VERY RARE CAR BETTER THAN MONEY IN THE BANK. AN EXCELLENT INVESTMENT YOU CAN ACTUALLY ENJOY THAT WILL NEVER GO DOWN IN VALUE.
THIS ONE HAS BEEN IN STORAGE FOR A NUMBER OF YEARS. IT HAS BEEN UP ON BLOCKS THE ENTIRE TIME TO MAKE SURE NO WATER COULD EVER REACH ANY SUSPENSION OR FRAME COMPONENTS WHILE STORED.
THE MOTOR TURNS FREELY. IT CAN BE MADE TO ACTUALLY RUN WITH FRESH GASOLINE AND A FRESH BATTERY. NO UNUSUAL NOISES OR SMOKE. THE CAR LOT-DRIVES UNDER ITS OWN POWER, MEANING IT WILL GO FORWARD & REVERSE UNDER ITS OWN POWER.
NO. I WOULD NEVER RECOMMEND ANYONE TO FLY IN MISTAKENLY THINKING YOU CAN DRIVE IT HOME. THIS IS A PROJECT CAR THAT NEEDS WORK. I DO RUN A BRITISH CAR RESTORATION SHOP THAT WILL BE HAPPY TO PERFORM ANY WORK YOU MIGHT WANT PRIOR TO DELIVERY. ALWAYS AN OPTION. I'D HAPPILY RESTORE THIS CAR FOR YOU AT A VERY REASONABLE PRICE SHOULD YOU REQUIRE. OTHERWISE, THE CAR IS SOLD AS-IS CONDITION.
I HAVE QUITE A FEW EXTRA PARTS THAT ARE INCLUDED IN THE SALE. THE REAR BUMPER IS BASICALLY THE ONLY MAJOR PART THAT I KNOW IS MISSING. I FOUND ONE ON EBAY WITH AN ASKING PRICE OF $300.
CAR IS LOCATED IN ROYAL PALM BEACH FLORIDA. I CAN HELP YOU SHIP THIS CAR ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD AT THE LOWEST PRICE. SEND ME YOUR ZIP CODE OR COUNTRY CODE TO GET A FREE SHIPPING QUOTE. FEEL FREE TO CALL AND ASK ANY QUESTIONS. 561.503.5339.
P.S. - I'VE JUST RECEIVED AN OFFER OF $10, 000. I DECLINED. $12, 500 MIGHT JUST MIGHT MAKE THE DEAL HAPPEN TODAY.
CAR IS ALSO LISTED FOR SALE LOCALLY, SO SELLER RESERVES RIGHT TO END AUCTION AT ANYTIME PRIOR TO AUCTION END.
